Nice write up! After a couple of attempts I settled on a a different approach for my old Kobo. It can connect to Dropbox so I deployed a small app in Fly.io which takes a link, bun…

Author here, thanks for posting this! If anyone has any feedback, questions, or any additional examples of deep/shallow abstractions they've used recently, let me know!

Regarding the culture bit: I feel that Erin Meyer's "The Culture Map" [1] should be high on any reading list around how to work in a remote environment, especially as a manager. Of…

I'd have to agree. I personally found that the book's structure with the themed chapters doesn't lend itself to a continuous reading; but going in small chunks as the authors inten…

- So Good They Can't Ignore You. Even though kinda 'self-help'-ish and repetitive at times, it played a role in shaping the way that I think about my career. - The Daily Stoic. A c…

One thing to try might be contributing to Open Source? Choose a project that looks interesting to you (ideally with a large community and modern tech stack) and join their Slack/Di…

If anyone is interested, I've also published a Go implementation [1] of the code for float64 slices. Results seem to exactly match the R and Python implementation, so there will be…

Come on, no offence, but you sound like astroturfing. I have no idea how you may be aware of a company's internal information, but the greek article you linked does _not_ mention r…

Thanks for bringing back fond memories of playing Far Cry 2 LAN multiplayer in run-down internet cafes back in middle/high school. :) In case you haven't played Far Cry 2 before, h…

This comment has produced one of the geekiest t-shirts of all time. In [1] Brian Kernighan interviews Ken Thompson, who's wearing a t-shirt which contains the relevant snippet alon…

Great ideas all around here, definitely stealing some! Personally, there was a time where I grew a little fond of numeric-based naming. It allowed for quickly tabbing between direc…

Since you mentioned terminal-based tutorials, here's a terminal-based solution. Most linux systems should include script [1] and scriptreplay[2], which should suit your needs. Here…

I think you're right regarding the verbosity, but I personally find this is outweighed by the fact that my code is 2x more likely to run correctly on the first try, and do what I e…

Of course it's a matter of preference and being the right tool for the right job! Personally after using Go to build a simple ray-tracer and having to do numerical computations wit…
